SENSATION IN COURT.
A Woman Denounces the Judge ae
Unjust.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When Judge Matthews Divorce Court
was opened yesterday morning no one would
have thought that among the many females
present there was one who would have the
temerity to rise from her seat and denounce
the court as unjust. Yet such was the case.
The scene was sensational and created con-
sternation in the court room for few mo-
ments. @%a
The case of Margaret Gordon against
James S. Gordon was called for trial The
attorney for the defendant asked that the
case be laid over until October, as he could
not get some witnesses here whom he
wanted To this Mrs Gordon's attorney
objected He said he wanted trial at once.
Since the suit was filed Mrs. Gordon has
been slandered in public places by the de-
fendant, and there were witnesses in court
to prove it, They desired to have this mat
ter settled at once.
The defendants attorney replied in a
somewhat sarcastic tone, and Mrs Gordon
at once rose from her seat and started
toward him Her black eyes flashed fire
and the expression of her face meant bust
ness. She was held back by her friends,
however, and compelled to take her seat.
The court said he would lay the case over
until October. Then came scene. Mrs.
Gordon rose to her feet quick as fash, and
strengthening up to her full height
exclaimed: That is not just" She
was seized by her friends and again COM
PEELED to sit down. She was very much ex-
cited. AS she rose to leave the court room
she turned to her husband, who stood near,
and said: "This will do you no good, Mr..
Gordon" His lip curled in scornful smile,
but he made no answer. All was excite
ment for few moments, and ell eyes were
turned on the woman who had thus in her
excitement so far forgot herself as to de-
nounce the court. She was led out of the
court room weeping bitterly.

A Base Ball Sermon.

Rev. Mr.. Woolsock, popularity known as
'the Deacon" in his sermon up the creek
last Sunday, as reported by the OIL CITY
Derrick, made few remarks pertinent to
base bali Pointing out of the window at a
game in progress ON the adjoining Wilson
fats he said: "See that loaSer with the bird
cage on his head standing like straddle
bug behind the bat He is not Decorating
the Sabbath day by playing ball. because he
isn't playing ball. He can't play. He i'm
magines he can, of course, and he goes
through all the painful contortions of real
ball player; but in the DEVILS score-book he
is charged ten times over for every error
and nice record he will have when the
season is over and the time for his eternal
rest should be at hand. 1t will be sorry
eternal rest for him."
Just then some one made long hit, and a
shout went up from the crowd.
eyes, hooplan yelled the deacon, raising
his voice above the din, "hoopla till the
COWS come home but unless you raise your
voices in hosannas to the Lord, you will
never reach the shining home-plate of ever
lasting life. That was long hit to centre
and give his nbs there credit for taking it
in, but the devil will take him in just as
slick on the last inning of all. You may
send in your curved balls and smash the
leather in the nose to the right or to the left
field; you may steal from bag to bag and
slide in home on your pantaloons, but finally
you will get a goose egg in the kingdom come.
Aye, pound ON the pealy gates with your
base ball bat, but if there IS a shadow of a
Sunday game on it, down to the eternal
roast you go. Saint Peter careth not

up from the assembled crowd OF dudes and
loafers Chase the ball, aye, leg it till your
ungodly heels beat a tattoo on your coat

never get away from your. elbow. Old
Clootie is a base runner and ball chaser
himself. and he will stay with you till his
own dominions freeze over and have to be
abandoned for en- ice pond" The deacon
made a few more remarks, exhorting his
hearers to shun the seductive ball field and
the trout pond on Sunday, and announced
services next Sabbath morning and evening
at the red schoolhouse il Sugereceek.

a HOPELESS ENTERPRISE.
The Panama Canal Doomed to Early
Abandonment.
From the NetcsYork Times.

From, the NetJsYork Times.
NJ. Boulange, French engineer who re-
Gently came from Panama to recuperate his
health, talked in English and his native Ian
guage about De Lesseps' great canal scheme
last evening before the American Society of
Civil Engineers. Ho is compact, wiry lit
tie man, with close-cropped black hair and
a complexion tanned to copper color, and
wears gold spectacles. What looked like a
plaster cast, but which in reality was a
unique model of the Isthmus with the line
of the canal marked in blue-the gift OF De
Lesseps to the society-was conspicuous on
an easel and was used by the guest of the
evening for illustration. Nj. Boulange has
been three years attached to the canal eu-
gineers' corps from France, and therefore
knew what he was talking about
@"The construction Of the canal, " he said,
''has been very difficult work, and the COM
pletion will be much more difficult. have
grave doubts that it can be finished, and, If
it is. the cost will be three or four times
what has already been expended. The New
York steam drill is being used by some OF
the contractors, but with such little success
at certain points that only about tive blast
holes are made an hour. The climate is very
discouraglng, and none Of the engineers who
had plans for necessary dams could remain
long enough on the ground TO finish them.

and when / got home the isthmus fever
Frustrated me for three months consecu-
lively.
even at this late day there is not first
class map or profile of the canal. Neither
are there any official data Of practical value
TO tine surviving engineers"
For those and other reasons Nj. Boulange
thought the gigantic undertaking would
eventually be abandoned. Speaking of what
had been done and the cost, he said:
'sNot more than one-fifth of the work has
been done, or about 80, 000,0 cubic metres
out of 100000 cubic metres have been
excavated. 1t has cost 100000, 0O0f, equal
to about e200,000,O0O. Nothing has been
done in Colon harbor, but about 10 miles OF

WALKING ON THE WATER.
A Frepchman Astonishes q Noisy
Crowd at Clark Street Bridge.

SAoWd SANAA DbIGeL DIlQH6.
From the Chicago Netrs
A perspiring throng stood on the Clark
street bridge in the blazing sun an hour
yesterday watching gentleman wearing a
silk hat and Prince Albert coat strolling
along on the snoked-glaSs colored surface of
the Chicago river. Alphonse King, the
water pedestrian, was taking his usual after
noon exercise. He sauntered along the
water boulevard between the Clark and
Wells street bridges on bicycle, lifting his
hat to noisy admirers and smiling good
naturally at sundry suggestions from the
docks. Then he put on his water CATERS
and strobe out on the loud-smelling river.
Some persons said the exhibition was not
a fair test, as the stencil that fingers about
the Clark street bridge was strong enough
for a man to walk on.
Mr.. King calls his water vehicle bicycle
probably because it has only one wheel
That wheel is set between two tin tubes,
pointed at each end. The tubes are about
inches in diameter and 10 feet long. The
wheel is armed with small paddles and sur
mounted by seat similar to that of the
ordinary bicycle. A rudder at the stern be-
tween the tubes guides the craft. Mr.. King
made fair speed and rode with apparent
ease. The rear windows of the buildings on
South Water street were filed with men in
their shirt sleeves, who howled occasional
remarks of appreciation at the slender
Frenchman. "Hi, therel Gully, swing de
bridge" shouted burly dock hand. "Hist
yer jib," "Let go yer spanker, roared pair
of sailors sa1~r
Mr.. King was nervous and little squaly
when he stepped into his big tin shoes and
saw the awful dose he would have to swal-
low if he took header into the murky,
